The bovine herpesvirus alpha gene trans-inducing factor activates transcription by mechanisms different from those of its herpes simplex virus type 1 counterpart VP16
1 Sept 1995
Abstract excerpt
In herpes simplex virus (HSV)-infected cells, viral gene expression is initiated when the immediate-early, or alpha, genes are transactivated by the alpha gene trans-inducing factor (alpha TIF), a component of the infecting virion. The protein binds to one or more recognition elements (TAATGARAT) in the promoters of alpha genes via interaction with the cellular proteins Oct-1 and CFF. The alpha TIF of HSV...
